Medical Humanities Early-Career Advisory Group

It includes all disciplines in the arts and humanities, such as (but not limited to): history; literary and cultural studies; Classics; philosophy; creative arts and design; bioarchaeology. It includes all methodologies and approaches, as long as the aim is to generate new knowledge and understandings related to health. Examples include, but are not limited to: archival research; textual, visual, and audio-visual analysis; digital humanities; creative or practice-led methodologies; interviews and oral histories; conceptual analysis; archaeological analysis of material culture or organic matter.
Examples include:
- research on experiences of health and healthcare, health practice and/or policy, and the generation of medical knowledge
- research on cultural representations of illness and wellbeing and their reception and impact
- research on health, healthcare, and wellbeing in their social, cultural, and political contexts in any time-period or in any geographical location
